Misled by Nature: Contemporary Art and the Baroque
by Emese Krunák-Hajagos
Large rotting Wookies, a frosted ice cave and a gorgeous candelabra greet the visitors in Mocca’s warehouse-like interior. These three, rather shocking, monumental installations are very impressive but somewhat challenging.

An Te Liu / Mono No Ma
by Alice Tallman
